Re: RAID 5 on HP ProLiant 350

Hi Slimp,Raid is down, does that mean RAID is failed?If raid is not failed and only degraded, which would be the case if RAID 5 is configured then the array will recreate itself after drive replacement.

The raid is failed due to failure of one hard drive so I'm assuming that RAID 0 was configured.

Now The 2nd slot hdd needs to be replaced then the complete array needs to be rebuild as a new one.

The Array Configuration Utility has wizard for this purpose.Try it! It is self explainaryJust use all the available space.Cheers!!

PS: Hope that would help but If your query is not answered then Please give more information, such as model of server, Name of RAID Controller, Type of RAID configured, How many logical drive you want to have etc.
